Now there are the same guards on the floor, and again there is little reporting of beatings and abuses as there is a sense that nothing will ever be done and retaliation is severe for those who complain ,
Here is one typed letter from Patrick Peterson who wrote of an inmate being killed when guards sprayed him with 8 cans of tear gas:(https://ffupstuff.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/patrick-peterson-dealth-by-guards-6-16-1.pdf ). He was put into segregation before this letter reached me. Only when our mail can gain some privacy , can we pursue this matter
Health care generally:
Health Care
Health care units in male facilities are
overwhelmed due to overcrowding, and aging population, and lack of health care
professionals. (i.e. doctors and nurses)
Nearly every the Health services unit (HSU) in the male system is lacking
several nursing and physician positions which denies basic medical care. (For example, One OSCI prisoners (Medium prison) writes that there are 2 Doctors for 2,000 prisoners. We have news articles but no exact data yet) There
are also many other factors leading to a completely failed health care system
in which prisoners wait interminably for care.
In addition is the issue of the DOC allowing
untrained, uneducated corrections officers (COS) to administer controlled
prescription and DEA monitored medications rather than nurses( RNs and LPNS)
This policy and practice has resulted in prisoners being dangerously overdosed,
wrong medications being given, medications not give at all or very late,
medication logs fabricated, and medications (narcotics)stolen. In the case of
one of our plaintiffs, the guard was fired for stealing prescription meds from
this plaintiff and is now facing criminal charges. As to the other issues, one
prisoner at Waupun Correctional has documented and exhausted his administrative
remedies on nearly two dozen instances of abuse and incompetence in medication
distribution, including insulin denials.
William Ledford Plaintiff one and main litigator_
William Ledford-letter is out to him- he will send his documentation and I asked him to write you to let you know of the health part of the class action- where he is with it as I have given him the plaintiffs stories. I will forward all he sends me to you.

Plaintiff two Jason Brush: lots of issues , the most important for us us the stealing of drugs by the guard- they arrested him and his case points out clearly that guards should not be dispensing drugs. Another issue here is that he was unable to breathe and could not get past the guards to the nurse- they said "if you can talk, you can breathe" which is correct for choking but not for breathing. Lack of professional staff, lack of training for guards and too few guards- lethal.
complaints exhausted:
Plaintiff Three- general health care: Robert Reifchneider: documents coming from friend

The next two are excellent litigators and have been stuck in seg for years, for Uhuru, 18 years. They are clearly political prisoners. I work closely with them and they have taught me much- will write asking if they want to be plaintiffs after you and I talk.
